Vanadinite is an uncommon mineral, only occurring as the result of chemical alterations to pre-existing material. It is therefore known as a secondary mineral. It is only found in arid climates like Morrocco, in the Sahara area, contributing to its rarity and it forms by oxidation of primary lead minerals.
